“I hate the climate change 'agenda'”
Which part of it? There’s climate science, and then there’s climate activists and it is a very broad movement with a lot of different agendas being pushed under this one umbrella. There’s probably some hard left ultra-greenie back to the land romantics that I disagree with. I’m called an “Eco-Modernist”. We have a Manifesto!

Grab a coffee and have a good half hour read. It’s the history of civilisation, energy density moving from wood to coal to gas and oil and finally how nuclear power can provide all our energy needs for a billion years. We love practical, scientific solutions, even GM foods!
“Give me practical, reasonable and viable ideas that don't have a negative or detrimental impact on the nations jobs and economy, and I'll support them.”
Well, reality check: just as home refrigerators replaced backyard the ice-hauling industry, Australia’s 38,000 coal mining jobs WILL have to go. (Figure from here.)

That might seem like a lot, but the Australian economy turns over 200,000 jobs a month.
AND those jobs will be phased out over 20 years because it’s going to take at LEAST that long to build all the nukes we need. So I don’t care that coal jobs will be lost, but what I do care about is that we have wonderful retraining schemes to help all Australia’s unemployed get back into work.
“Instead what you want to do is through fuel on a divisive issue that has resulted in the entire planet being at each others throats.”
Hitler invaded Poland. What was Britain to do, accommodate him? Watch “The Darkest Hour” to see how close they came to doing so but for Churchill! Boy that Cabinet was divided! Many of life’s most important things are divisive — and just because they are does not give responsible adults licence to avoid thinking about the whole subject.
Climate change is real.
Fossil fuel particulate pollution is lethal, and they’re finite.
They will run out.
It’s time to thank them for industrialising us and leave them.
